They’re such a versatile appliance, yet I hear the same question all the time. Can you put oil in an air fryer?</p> <p>Well, here are all the answers you are looking for including where to put oil in an air fryer, which oils to use, and which oils are the healthiest for cooking in one.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><strong>Can You Put Oil in an Air Fryer?</strong></h2> <p>Yes, and you should be using oil in some capacity for almost 75% of what you cook.</p> <p>It can sound deceiving knowing an air fryer is so you don’t have to deep fry foods then finding out you need oil to cook in it.</p> <p>The truth is, it is still much healthier than a deep fryer and cheaper. A deep fryer can easily hold a full container of vegetable oil. That’s at least $3.00 PLUS the cost of food.</p> <p>It can add up! With an air fryer, even if you use it every day, it can take weeks to go through that same amount.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="mv-video-target mv-video-id-pwam8xz0ocjzh9dsqkby" data-video-id="pwam8xz0ocjzh9dsqkby" data-volume="70" data-sticky="1" data-autoplay="1" data-disable-optimize="1"></div> <h2>&nbsp;</h2> <h2>&nbsp;</h2> <h2><strong>How Much Oil Do You Use in an Air Fryer?</strong></h2> <p>While air frying, you use anywhere from 1 tsp. to 2 TBSP. of oil depending on the type of food you are cooking.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><strong>Where Do You Put Oil in an Air Fryer?</strong></h2> <p>When air frying, you put the oil on the food, not in the basket. How you put the oil on the food will depend on what exactly you are cooking.</p> <p>I explain this more below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><noscript><img class="aligncenter wp-image-4161 size-full" srx="https://www.journeytosahm.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/How-to-use-oil.jpg" alt="Air Fryer Oil How To" data-pin-description="Learn how to use oil in an air fryer.

No. You should NEVER use PAM cooking spray inside an air fryer. Let me rephrase that. <strong>You should never use PAM on or in ANY non-stick appliance/pots.</strong></p> <p>PAM and other aerosol cooking sprays have an ingredient called soy lecithin. It ends up destroying the non-stick coating on the pan and adds a thick layer of sticky gunk. It’s basically impossible to remove.</p> <p>The coating to make a pot or appliance, like your air fryer, non-stick is there so you don’t have to use anything else.</p> <p>Be on the lookout for other cooking sprays, like this <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072Q9V77B/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=journeytosa06-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B072Q9V77B&linkId=48b041686336ae34e9c6ded1121e5054" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong><span style="color:#f46b9d;text-decoration:underline">PAM Oil Mister</span></strong></span></a> that looks safe, but still contains soy lecithin.</p> <p>If any of your food is sticking to the air fryer, feel free to spritz a little oil into the basket before placing your food in. You can also use a small amount of coconut oil and rub it in the basket before turning it on.</p> <p>I learned the hard way through the years and completely destroyed my non-stick cooking pan from using PAM for quesadillas. Never again.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><strong>What Kinds of Oil Can I Use in an Air Fryer?</strong></h2> <p>You can use any oil in an air fryer that you can use in an oven. This includes vegetable oil, olive oil, coconut oil, canola oil, and more.</p> <p>Read more on the healthiest oils to use below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><noscript><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-4160 size-large" srx="https://www.journeytosahm.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/guide-to-oil-air-fryer-512x1024.jpg" alt="Guide to Using Oil in an Air Fryer" data-pin-description="The best air fryer oil tips to use youe air fryer machine to its full potential.
